The Young Lion

Millwall, who returned to London with the European Championship trophy, not only stimulated Millwall fans, but also stimulated two London neighbors.

Chelsea won the European Cup of Winners a few days in advance. The Arsenal FA Cup defeated Newcastle United and won the double crown this season.

After these two clubs struggled for many years, suddenly the waist was hard and they could take out the trophy to show off, but the dead neighbor Millwall, who hated his teeth, was actually **** with the big European ears. The cup is back!

London fans are proud.

In this year, English football has nothing to do with Liverpool and Manchester. Three domestic trophies, two were received by Arsenal, one was won by Millwall, and the European Championship with the most influential European war was also won by Millwall. In return, Chelsea won this honor as the England team after Millwall won the European Cup Winners' Cup last year.

London is not only the focus of English football, but also the focus of European football.

This makes Fleet Street more arrogant: England football is back to its peak!

A series of activities such as a huge parade to win the championship, a celebration at home, interaction with fans and so on lasted for a week. Finally, the players packed their bags and returned home, some went directly to the national team to report, preparing for the World Cup in France .

Millwall’s management has not yet entered the holiday. CEO Adam is busy dealing with sponsors. Not only is the old contract to be renewed, new sponsors are also coming, and it is conservatively estimated that before the start of the new season, Millwall There will be more than 20 business partners, and sponsorship income will more than double than last year.

The new sponsorship of the team’s chest advertisement has been finalized, Standard Chartered Bank has defeated all competitors, and Puma’s jersey sponsorship has also been successfully reached with the contract doubling as a contract renewal condition.

Millwall's prosperity has led to the growth of business value with excellent competitive results. At the same time, they tirelessly promoted and cooperated with excellent records and began to receive generous returns.

Only the number of registered members on the official website has exceeded 300,000. The club has also received letters from fan organizations in other countries to help them set up a foreign website for the team approved by Millwall.

This year is the World Cup. As a person in the football world, Aldridge doesn’t want to stay in the UK, especially London, because he will be harassed, invitations to some programs, and even invitations to comment on guests on site, reviews and interviews after the game, etc. The newspaper has self-knowledge and will not stick to you like a dog skin plaster, but the tabloid is different. Those paparazzi are always annoying. You must say a few words before you stop, and then you will repeat the trick the next day.

Carter invited Aldridge to travel to Switzerland in the summer. After thinking about it, Aldridge agreed, but before he left, it was a group trip. Aldridge would bring some friends with him.

Leo training base.

The youth team did not put on a holiday, but training in summer was more relaxed.

Some homesick players have been approved to take a leave to return to their hometown.

Aldridge and Andrew stood beside the deserted court, watching the 7VS7 half-court match on the field.

Now those young players' eyes on Aldridge have changed.

Before it was respect, now it is awe.

Aldrich didn't know what little children like Aguero, Messi, Ronaldo feared him.

It is estimated that he won the Champions League, and the coach level has improved a lot, making them involuntarily afraid of Aldridge.

Inside the stadium are a group of U15 youth teams playing football. After the World Cup, they will represent Millwall in the first Millwall Charity Cup. The leading figures are 13-year-old Ronaldo and 15-year-old De Rossi.

Watching Ronaldo play football is anxious.

Cristiano Ronaldo is very strong in training, not afraid of the earth, and just likes to be the protagonist, but his ability is absolutely crushed among his peers, so he usually jumped to the U16 echelon in training, with players under the age of 16. Train together.

There are many problems he wants to get rid of.

One of them is that he likes to play football in his own way.

In layman's terms, it is a person who plays on the field, and can often watch him take the ball alone, break the ball, break the ball, and then be pushed into the dead by the defensive player, but the teammates are often out of position. It’s not that his teammates didn’t have the consciousness to run, but his teammates didn’t even know when Ronaldo would pass the ball. When he passed, when no one received it, Ronaldo would complain loudly that the teammate had not kept up with his rhythm...

This phenomenon has changed little by little, which is why Aldridge let Cristiano Ronaldo jump training. His peers can't prevent him and can't keep up with him, but talented players who are two or three years older than him Different, the physical conditions restrained Ronaldo, and his personal performance was continuously reduced. Ronaldo gradually realized that his kicking method was unreliable and was slowly improving. At least he worked hard with Mullenstin to practice his personal skills. More, often secretly practice at night.

The situation of Messi and Aguero is ideal. The technical talents of the two are undoubtedly. The technical moves they can make are much more coherent than their peers. Plus the age of the two is the youngest in the echelon. Teammates take good care of them. The two usually take care of themselves and receive the most care. They both won applause and praise on the training ground. The days are very moist. Sometimes Odridge will take them out to go shopping and eat, after all, they are I came to Europe from South America at such a young age that I should always take them out to meet the world, get familiar with the environment, and strengthen my sense of belonging.

When the players began to take a break, De Rossi ran over, took a bottle of water and unscrewed a few sips, and asked Aldridge while wiping his sweat: "Boss, are you coming to play in summer?"

"What game? World Cup?"

"No, the Charity Cup."

Aldrich shook his head: "No, I'm going to travel."

De Rossi was very depressed. He was the captain of the team sent by Millwall this time.

Andrew smiled next to him: "Are you going to let him watch your performance in the game and bring you to the first team next season?"

De Rossi scratched his head and said, "Is this impossible?"

Aldridge rolled his eyes and chuckled twice.

Of course not.

With his 15-year-old body, what do he do in the first team?

Playing the Premier League is abused, playing the reserve team is abolished.

"Are you confident to win the championship?"

Andrew stared at De Rossi with a playful look.

De Rossi frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "It should be fine."

He looked back at his teammates.

The boy on the front line is Ronaldo.

Midfielder depends on him and Jenas.

Anyway, just press the opponent to attack.

After he left, Aldridge turned to Andrew and sighed, "Did you be so crazy when you were 15 years old?"

Andrew shrugged and passed.

"Have you thought about it?"

After being urged, Aldridge sighed and smiled bitterly: "It seems that Millwall's supermarket is really about to open."

Andrew interfaced: "I think this is a good thing. These players have won the highest honors of the club. In addition, they won the league championship last year. To be honest, their aggressiveness will be a question. Furthermore, the club sells is to give Newcomers make room, otherwise what are you doing with the youth team? Since they want to leave, you stay strong, they are unhappy, and you feel awkward when you see them.

Aldridge stared straight at Andrew and asked, "I sold all of them, will I be relegated next season?"

Andrew also asked: "Do you need to let me tell you if you want to develop players' abilities?"

Aldridge pouted.

On the second day of winning the European Champions Cup, the bidding quotations of the European giants were not accidentally sent to Millwall.

Who is on the buying list?

Even Bout, there are as many as three first-tier clubs to buy, and the names of other players are all connected with the real giants.

It is Nedved, Larsson, Southgate, Schneider, Bute, Pirlo, Makelele that will definitely leave their position to the agent.

In addition to Shevchenko's previous departure plan, three other people also had a decision to go. It was a decision, not an idea, an idea. Perhaps it was already in mind.

Trezeguet also wants to go to Italy, he thinks he has conquered England, it is time to go to striker touchstone's Serie A to meet new challenges.

Elgra's agent is his uncle. As a Spanish, he wants Elgra to go to Real Madrid to wear a noble shirt. Elgra also has this intention.

Capdevila’s desire to leave is not a competitive factor. He can’t adapt to the life in London. Here, besides playing football, he has almost no extra-work activities, because he can’t integrate into the environment here, and he can’t stand it. The weather in London, or the sunny Spain, made him yearn for it. Aldrich did not doubt his reason, because he offered to transfer the club to A Coruña, not two other Real Madrid. And Barcelona, ​​if he was dedicated to entering the giants, he went to Real Madrid as a substitute. If he wants to shake Carlos' main position, there is no hope for five years.

There is another person who wants to leave, Barak.

He came to the club four years ago, but Pirlo, who came to the team three years ago, pressed him on the bench. Especially as Pirlo grew older, his body became stronger and the density of the game increased. Even more compressed Barack's appearances.

The three main midfielders established by Aldridge, Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved, and their respective functions run perfectly. Barack is indeed only a substitute in the Aldridge plan, but Barak does not want to play a substitute. In order to enter the German national team faster.

In particular, he couldn’t see the hope that nature would become the main force at all. Millwall’s three midfielders were all in the year of playing, and Pirlo was only twenty years old. Barrack could only sit unless someone left or had a serious injury. Stable main force.

Aldridge couldn’t blame Barak’s ideas, especially if the other party talked openly with himself.

The opponent is not a man with a higher heart than fate and thinner than paper. It is really a collection of Millwallian tigers. He can’t see the day when he is in the first place. It’s not his strength. It’s Aldridge. Aldridge prefers Pirlo. The creativity, coupled with the guarantee of Makelele’s defense, unless under special circumstances, he does not need to delay the organization of the core to allocate more capabilities to ensure the defense line, but uses the offensive to compress the opponent’s offense, which is itself a kind of More successful defense!

Transfers should be fast or not slow, but in the World Cup year, how to wait until the end of the World Cup to come into operation, Aldridge first suppressed these transfers, while also preparing for the departure of these players.

Before the World Cup in France, Aldridge had a place to go before vacation.

Brussels, Belgium.

In a business meeting room of a hotel.

There are high-back chairs at both ends of the long table, with an English abbreviation written on the front of the chair.

On the back of the first chair on the left hand of the head read: A.

There are chairs like B, I, J next to them.

In the middle, M is written on two adjacent chairs.

The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and people kept coming in. They dressed in suits and shoes, and looked for the letters on the backrest chairs.

On the chairs on both sides of the long table, it was very clear to see that the chairman of Barcelona was sitting on the chair of letter B, and the chairman of Ajax was sitting on the chair of letter A.

Galliani, Moratti, Mogi, Sens, etc. There are 13 people sitting here, and beside the only vacant seat, Manchester United President Edwards frowned and stared at the letter on the chair: M .

Is it wrong?

It should be L.

Liverpool.

While 13 people were waiting, footsteps were heard outside the door. They turned their heads and saw a young and handsome blond young man with one hand in his pockets, strode into the conference room, turned and closed the door, and walked straight to Edwards, Open the chair and sit down.

Edwards looked like a ghost and his eyes widened incredulously: "Aldrich Hall! Why are you here?"

Aldrich asked in response: "Why? It turns out that you want the Liverpool chairman to come here?"

Edwards said sharply: "Milwall is not worthy of being here!"

Aldridge smiled and said nothing.

Galliani calmly said: "Millwall is the champion team in England and also won the European Championship. The impact of these two years in European football cannot be ignored."

Aldridge and Galliani glanced at each other in a secret manner.

"No, no, Millwall is not enough for our level."

Edwards still insisted.

Galliani said helplessly: "Then vote to see it."

When the representatives of Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan took the lead in raising their hands to agree, the presidents of other clubs also raised their hands in succession. Although not all, Barcelona did not agree, but there were still ten votes.

Aldridge turned his head to look at Edwards, the other party had no choice but to acquiesce Millwall to replace Liverpool for their meeting.

Aldridge looked around the representatives of the big clubs, some of them lobbied by Galliani, and some wanted to do business with Millwall to get Aldridge to vote in the same way.

In any case, Millwall came here, whether or not there are wealthy background and background, at least, it is to play games with the wealthy.

In the summer of 1998, the first generation of mad lion swept across Europe under the command of young commander Aldridge.

G14 brewed the European Super League, which kicked off the war with UEFA.

Forever the "strongest in history" England team came back in France.

The Lion King Stadium is expected to be completed in less than two years...
